Chocolate-coated Chips
Ingredients
400 g semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
240 ml heavy cream
80 pcs Santa Maria Tortilla Chips
Santa Maria Chili Pepper Ancho
How to prepare
Place chopped chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl.
Over medium heat, heat cream in a small saucepan until it begins to gently simmer. Don’t let it come to a boil – that’s too hot!
Pour cream over chocolate, then let it sit for 2–3 minutes.
Stir until the chocolate pieces are melted through completely.
Set oven to 175 °C.
Place tortilla chips in a single layer and bake for 5–7 minutes until crispy.
Using tongs, gently dip each chip in the chocolate ganache.
Place chips on a prepared tray lined with wax paper.
Pop in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up chocolate.
Then, sprinkle some ancho chili powder on top of the chips.
Tip! Feel free to experiment with flavours. Cocoa chili powder or a bit of cayenne will also give a nice kick.
